Global crawfish production is highly concentrated in Louisiana, and specifically in the Atchafalaya Basin, although in recent years both markets for and production of crawfish have dispersed. Production has transitioned from primarily wild harvest to aquaculture, and this transition appears in the diverging pattern of several variables, including income earned by farmers and wild harvesters. Production transition stems from a complex web of inter-related spatial phenomena including globalization, resource allocation regimes, capitalistic synergies, changing land use and cover, and spatial fragmentation. However, it is unclear if transitioning production methods precipitate livelihood transitions, or if livelihood transitions precipitate production transitions. Concern exists that an emerging unsustainable production system is replacing the environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable traditional production system. This work seeks to evaluate the magnitude of production transition, the relationships between production and livelihood transition, and the overall equity of such transitions.
